Abstract: Blended learning is an educational model offered through traditional learning methods and digital networks to share knowledge and education resources between instructors and learners. Besides, blended learning provides learning courses accessed through digital platforms and gadgets utilizing online technologies such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and personal computers. Denoted as e-learning, these platforms are important in teaching and training students through the internet and wireless technologies. In any course, offering online learning plays a great role because e-learning provides the students the opportunities of developing their capabilities, specifically in information science courses. In modern education, digital learning is becoming a gradually popular option. The classroom settings moved online from full digital courses to classes held remotely. However, effective communication in a digital learning environment may be hard, particularly when digital learning transition is unplanned or has been sudden. Making such massive overhauls are confusing and frustrating for the teachers, learners, and parents.
Nevertheless, digital learning communication can be made easier with the right resource. This research explores the blended learning environment effectiveness by evaluating the relationships between design features, student backgrounds or attributes, and learning outcomes. The paper's objective is to determine the important blended learning effectiveness indicators, taking learning outcomes as dependent variables and design features and learner background or attributes as independent variables. Results of multiple regression analyses indicated learner attributes such as self-regulation and attitudes and traits of blended learning designs such as one-on-one support, technology quality, and online tools forecasted students' satisfaction as an outcome. The findings show that design characteristics and student traits are important indicators for student learning outcomes in blended learning.
